Loved it again!

I truly appreciate the warm and inviting feeling that I had during my stay. From checking in, to checking out, one feels that you are their only customer. The two night stay is exactly what my wife and needed. I do agree with other comments, I wish I could have stayed longer. We have stayed twice now and intend on being a regular customer! Thanks again for a great weekend away!More

Stayed in a villa with family and everyone had a blast. The four year old was entertained, the teenage girls were kept busy, and dad was still able to relax!!! The staff made the experience that much more delightful by being laid back and attentive at all times. I felt like part of the community at the breakfast and happy hour. Short walk to the beach allows you to skip the stressful parking dilemma on the island. Will totally be back!!!

Room Tip: Villa 15 is beautifully decorated and has all the modern amenities you need.

Once a month my fiance' and I are fortunate enough to stay on Folly beach for a little staycation. Waters Edge never fail to meet expectations. All the rooms are eclectic in motifs...in a good way.

Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable.

Happy hour and Morning Breakfast great as well. (we have not tried the breakfast but I can tell it is awesome). Most importantly the cookie jar and milk is available 24/7.

Nice room, amenities are enjoyable, quiet location in a busy beach community. Took full advantage of the hot tub, and happy hour was great. I gave it 4 stars, but would perhaps give it 5, except for the inconsistency in how the staff performed. I realize that "good help is hard to find" but some of the time during our stay we found ourselves depending on the performance of someone who seemed to find the computer more important than the guests!I don't want to emphasize the negative, though - I enthusiastically recommend the Water's Edge Inn, with the caveat that you might experience the same type of inconsistent service.

Room Tip: Make sure you ask for an upstairs room, with a screen porch.

My husband booked our stay at this incredibly charming, romantic inn for the last night of our honeymoon after visiting downtown Charleston earlier that week. We loved the Water's Edge Inn from the moment we arrived! We were greeted with glasses of the delicious "World Famous Folly Punch" and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Talk about Southern hospitality! They also offer a complimentary daily happy hour serving wine, beer, tasty snacks (they had pimento cheese sliders when we were there - yum!), and more of that incredible punch! As if that wasn't already lovely enough, my husband and I returned from a day at the beach to find a very nice surprise - a bottle of champagne awaiting us in celebration of our honeymoon! They go above and beyond to take care of their guests and make you feel extra welcome!

We stayed in The Caribbean Room, which was absolutely adorable! We really enjoyed having both a walk-in shower and a soaking tub! The private balcony is the ideal place to enjoy a quiet cup of morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine after a day at the beach. The beautiful and super comfy canopy bed was the icing on the cake!

The Inn is a quick walk away from the beach and the main restaurant/shopping district, but they also provide a complimentary golf cart shuttle if you don't feel like walking. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The Water's Edge Inn is THE place to stay if you are planning a trip to Folly Beach. We will definitely be back!

Room Tip: We loved our stay in The Caribbean on the 2nd floor.
